The Canadian film, to be directed by Allan Ungar, will see Gooding Jr. play a former SWAT leader who is being shadowed by an arrogant movie star. Together, they must organize the survivor on an attack on a training facility to fight back against a team of mercenaries.

Hackybox, which is shopping the picture in Berlin, is financing and producing the feature, which is based on a script by Ungar and Rob Robol.

Gridlocked is set to shoot this spring in Toronto and London, Ontario.
